Hartford Times Correspondent The stone over Captain Simeon Smiths grave is inscribed, "In Memory of Capt. Simeon Smith, of New London, who after series of useful Lsbours, Publick and Domestic and after particular hardships of ye late Campaign which he endured with uncom- mon fortitude-on hh return Home being seized with ye Small Pox cheerfully re- signed to Death Nov. 2S, 1760, in ye 44th year of his age." This grave is near the highway, two miles west of Andover de- pot, on "rhe old Crocker lot" on the ground where Manly Lord now lives, on the road from Bolton to Hebron. Captain Smith was on his way home to New Lon don hom the army ID the French and h. dian war. To have the small pox in those days very often meant nttie3.h-withoutc care, without friends, and to be put into the ground with no ceremony more than dog would receive. Vaccination has changed all this. This gravestone is one of the Bolton flags, showing those stones were used for that purpose at an early period

The Star of Bethlehem can now be seen some mornings as late as six o'clock. It is very beautiful and brilliant and 30 scintillating it cannot be mistaken, for there is no such queen of the heavens vis- ible. It is seen in the south-eastern sky, and is travelling west It will be visible for three months after it's first appearance. As it is now in the zenith of it's brilliancy it will daily decrease in brilliancy and may be expected to be invisible to the naked eye in another month and half. It IS beautiful thought that it appears each 400 years and is in all its glory on Christmas day, Christs natal day, when the world is chanting "Peace on earth good will toward men," How many have seen this brilliant star?

 Commissioher Seymour naid in reply 10 Mir. Stoughtonis inquiry, that the towns already in the list as above must remain in-they cannot come out. But all of them might not be assessed.
 Mir. Bryant claimed that there should be added the towns of Enfield, Somers, Staf- ford, Ellington. Coventry, Columbia, Leb- anon, Hartland, Chatham, Portland and Colchester.
 Judge Briscoe protested against includ. ing Enfield which will have no benefit whatever. In the case of the Springfield bridges, the commission, in cases of dis. tant towns, did not consider them at all.
 Mir. Bryant said that Ellington would be included, because there is a very consid- erable travel from there to Hartford. Trav- el from Portland also came across the bridge.

The Has No Protection.

Such is the untrue declaration of
the free trade theorists in their
clamorous appeals to farmers for
help and in their fallacies intended
to show that the agricultural popu-
latlon receives no advantages from
existing tariff laws. This emphatic
allegation of the free trade apostles
needs TO be needed and remembered.
They say that the farmer has no pro-
lection, and that he pays all the cost
of the protection that other pro-
ducers receive.
Ia the same breath, however, that
declares the farmer is without pro-
lection, the free-traders point to the
tariff on wool as one of the worst
evils of protection. The wool that
is peculiarly protected by the tariff
is that raised on the farms of the
northern and western states, by
farmers owning flocks of from thirty
to one hundred sheep each. There
are not less than 100000 of such
farmers, and the population employ
ed in farm labor, part of which
is devoted to wool-gro wing, is not
less than s,00O,000. The wool prod
uct Of the country is we'll along
toward 100000 pounds, OF
which much the largest proportion
in value is farm wool Of the better
grades, on which the higest tariff
rates are placed. "Remove the tariff
on WOOL" shout the free-traders, IL
one breath. "The tariff does not
protect the farmer" the shout in the
next breath. The impudent incon
sistency of these two cries is char
acteristie Of the entire discussion on
the part of the free-traders
In other directions the farmer i,
amply protected by the tariff. Blu
for The import duty on oats anc
barley Canada would monopolize tn,
market for these grains in the
United States. The duty on animal,
/ for food products protects the farm
ers of all the northern states from
\ Canadian competition CHAR wou.o
depress prices and give over on
( food markers To foreign occupation
On other farm articles the protection
is generous aud gives our own pro
ducers an advantage over foreigt
competition.
